Police are hunting for a Coney Island man suspected of holding up a gas station in Midwood last month.

Authorities identified 35-year-old Shamil Tagiev, whose last know address is at the Luna Park Complex in Coney Island, as the man wanted for the robbery.

Cops say he robbed a gas station at the corner of Coney Island Avenue and Avenue O just before 3am on December 27\. Tagiev allegedly drew a gun on the 22-year-old clerk working at the store and demanded cash from the register. The employee handed over $70 and Tagiev fled in a blue Toyota, according to authorities.
